fred davis did a great job last year and i think he will have a great season. we moved niles over to tight end and he is a very, very physical play and that is a tremendous asset for him. in tight end he is completely adequate at that position. i'm trying o help these guys and find my niche. what am guying to be, what affect will i have on this team, and i think it's fun because there is just so much going on, and so much we can do offensively. another thing you see is all of these receivers making plays. being on the field on this team is tough right now. >> antwaan: there you it from chris cooley the player and the coach. >> kevin: niles paul just caught a bullet. >> joe: he looks much more comfortable than last week, he is running well and getting up the field a bit more. >> kevin: it was a nine yard reception, the official on the other field marked it at a 14 yard reception, but it was only nine, we were fooled. paulson makes his third reception, brought down by williams, a six yard pick up and a first down. >> joe: chris summers running with the ball, ther
